Chapter 246 - 243 ~ Last Prince
"He must be livid now."
Enri stated as they returned to their army ranks.
"I think so. If he weren't a coward too, I'd even expect him to lead the charge."
Ninya responded.
And she was right. The kingdom's drums began to pound, and the infantry began their march forward.
"Signal the goblin mages."
Ninya ordered and looked behind her. The flag waved as she raised her enchanted staff high into the air as a signal, and the rest followed suit.
"Twin magic! Fireball!"
"Acid Javelin!"
"Wind Strike!"
"Bombard!"
"Scorching Ray!"
Ninya, Nfirea, and the host of goblin casters at their backs fired their spells, slinging them in a long, deadly, inexorable arc into the densely packed lines of the Kingdom infantry.
It was impossible to not at least hit one of them.
n fell screaming, writhing in pain, as fire scorched their skin, acid lted their muscles, and blades of wind cutting their bones.
Soon, another volley of magic ca again, and the walk beca a jog.
"Archers!"
Enri called out, and arrows were nocked, then flew into the air to land again amongst the densely packed rank. So scratched a soldier's side. The unluckier ones were silenced by an arrow through the eye, necks, brain, or heart.
A horn blew from behind the kingdom lines, and cavalry began their charge. Heavy, armored horses numbering in the hundreds rumbled the ground beneath them as they raced through the open field.
"Wolf Riders!"
Enri shouted, and the howling of wolves drowned out all else for a mont before the pounding of their large paws of these massive wolves began to compete with horses.
The goblins atop the wolves were ard, armored, and skilled in ways the kingdom's cavalry could only dream of being.
They were fewer in number, but soon enough, the kingdom's cavalry were the ones that was dealt with heavy damage.
"Now! Infantry! And sound the drums!"
The boom of the goblin army war drums reverberated and shook the air, sending waves of terror into the advancing, yet thinning, ranks of the kingdom soldiers.
Enri drew out her sword. Her infantry were close. Her armor was one of the finest sets in the carts delivered to her by Master Gown and Master Zero. And the weapons and armors equipped by her army were much greater than even the ones worn by commanders of the royal prince's army.
'Last ti they ca, all i could do was run away and die! I couldn't save my parents! I couldn't do anything but die! Now... I can do sothing. I will do sothing this ti!'
"Charge!"
She shouted and lowered her sword forward, and the army advanced along with her, Nfirea, and Ninya as one into the fray.
The clashing and clamoring of swords filled the battlefield, and screams and dying of n were indistinguishable from those of wild beasts.
The heavy goblin infantry treated the war like a chore. Like farming, and the Kingdom's soldiers, regardless of their superior numbers, fall like wheat before scythes.
And soon, the nurical advantage shifted, and the Goblin Strategist gave the final signal.
From the little clump of woods, a small number of hidden wolfriders erged behind the enemy lines, and rushed straight for the commander of the Kingdom's army.
His small honor guard saw the surprise attack too late, and were culled by the force they were no match for.
Barbro saw the horror unfolding in front of him. The army of almost eleven thousand n, including the ten thousand his brother "delivered
